Hi Team, it would appear that Invercargill weather station velocitynet (ISTLAVEN2) is no longer working

WW Forecast Team on 24/03/2025 8:59pm

Hi Russ, thank you for that – we have removed that station now.
Kind regards,
– WW Team

any chance of a good doce of heavy rain coming up soon for nelson ? nelson south eastren ranges behind the city are quite dry any chance nelson might get rain in next 14 days?

Josh on 24/03/2025 8:17pm

i think a light-moderate soaking rain will do good after a hard dry spell/drought. here in Auckland we need that sort of rain. not heavy atmospheric river rain like nelson 2022 flood rain or Auckland anniversary flood rain but a nice gentle persistent rain.

Jeremy on 19/03/2025 9:20pm

How’s the alpine area in Nelson Lakes looking next week?

Josh on 17/03/2025 9:45pm

hey phil I am glad you removed the rain icon for today given iobnly 0.9mm are expected however looking at the radar some heavy downpours expected? might get more locally?

josh on 17/03/2025 8:47pm

hi ww is this low pressure zone we got means the high pressure train is slowly starting to break apart?

WW Forecast Team on 19/03/2025 7:57am

Hi Josh, another low like this needs to happen again in the near future, but no major changes expected this month to that high pressure zone.

My only go too is Weather Watch.
